That song (Starry Starry Night) is so sweet and sentimental...
"Starry, starry night.
Paint your palette blue and grey,
Look out on a summer's day,
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills,
Sketch the trees and the daffodils,
Catch the breeze and the winter chills,
In colors on the snowy linen land.
Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.
Starry, starry night.
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze,
Swirling clouds in violet haze,
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.
Colors changing hue, morning field of amber grain,
Weathered faces lined in pain,
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.
Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.
For they could not love you,
But still your love was true.
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night,
You took your life, as lovers often do.
But I could have told you, Vincent,
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you.
Starry, starry night.
Portraits hung in empty halls,
Frameless head on nameless walls,
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
Like the strangers that you've met,
The ragged men in the ragged clothes,
The silver thorn of bloody rose,
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
Now I think I know what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they're not listening still.
Perhaps they never will... "
I'm feeling totally deep right now.
No other words to describe that feeling.

Bells, Bells, Bells
LOUD noises in my head.... imagination is out of control, and I'm freaking myself out. Wannabe Me just read (Is that bad grammar? Saying that "Me" just read?) The Thief of Always of Clive Barker. Note to Readers, NOT a book you wanna read in the dark, after 8, or anywhere possibly creepy. It's a great novel, totally recommending it, but..... well, maybe it's just me, but it kinda gave me this weird feeling. Like, uahhhh....... a sort of shiver? And I think that it would have been better without pictures. Letting my imagination tell me how Fish Lulu looked like, how the Quartet looked..... It just goes to show you that children need excitement in their lives. Anything can happen on a rainy day. Moving on. It's Friday, so we had Gym today. We did volleyball for the last month and a half, and now we're moving on to tennis. I'm slightly better at tennis. But, my family plays, so I gripped the handle the way my dad taught me, but the teacher threw them all too low for me to reach in that position without moving back. And fear sort of rooted me to the spot. So I missed the first three. I'd just like to say, that the teacher didn't even show us anything. She said, "Hold the racket with your hand. When the ball comes, swing the racket from behind you on an arc to the front, with both feet planted next to each other, but apart." I know it sounds helpful, but this all happened in less then a minute. Then I got angry, just randomly held the racket, and just hit the dang ball. It worked. Well, I enjoy short posts so, happy days, Wannabe Me, signing off.

Ineffable Effable Names and a bit of advice
First of all, I love the poem this post is named after. It's wonderful.
Second, I'd just like to say that it is too hard to pick a background with Blogger. There's so many great ones!!! My current one really hit me, it's so beautiful. But I also like all the ones with books too, they give a sense of my character. And the sea ones, and the wave one in the techno section. It's all so hard to choose....... Ah well. I'll change it every day, or something. Blogs need to express yourself, so the background is very important. Listen up, Rookies. Wannabe Me's going to teach you something. Once you think your blog looks decent, email it to everyone you know. And tell them to email it to everyone they know. If your blog was ok, you might pick up some followers. Remember not to post names about private people around you. Use code names, like Bob, and Lady Gaga. And make it enjoyable to read, people don't want to hear you blah blah blah blah (droning) about your day. Make it fuuuuuunnnnnnnnnyyyyy. Or something. Well, I'm droning right now, so I'm gonna do something about it.
Who of you likes bananas?

SO much depends on the little wheelbarrow
No time for anything!!! Wannabe Me, reporting live from the disastrous mess that is my tortured mind. Spring Break is over, back to school with a huge longing for time to restart. I feel like I haven't done anything during these weeks. Worse thing is, there's an even bigger rush now. Only 40 days of school left (and yes, I'm counting) till the dream of all children everywhere comes true.... SUMMER VACATION!!! It brightens my life just saying it. Of course, it's not all that it's cracked up to be. Why is it, that whenever we have a break, the teachers just pile MORE homework on us???? It's like it's not even a break! Anyway, I'll looking forward to some just me time. My doodle book, my laptop, and some fiction. And maybe a cookie or two. Not that hiking, walking, and going to pretty much everywhere isn't absolutely great, but. You know, you gotta give a girl a break. So lately, I've been getting totally psyched on Kpop. Dunno why, I just like it. My favs are ZE:A, 2PM, and BEAST. Course, those are the boy ones. I don't like much of the girl ones, they're all high pitched and cutesy. Maybe I'll post a few MVs later. And, like, everyone's gonna be hating on me for this, but I'm mentioning it anyway. One Piece. My latest obsession. I LOVE it, can't get enough! I've actually been banned from watching it. Lame. It's because me and my sis are always talking about it. Sanji, Zoro, Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Zoro, Chopper, Zoro, Nico Robin, Zoro. As you can see, Zoro's my fav. He's just so cool!! And he's cute. In his own way. Anyway, I'm pretty good at drawing manga and anime, so I usually draw the gang. I can't believe that there's over 400 episodes!!!! (I only watch the japanese version with english subs) I'm only on 204 or something ㅠ-ㅠ...... Thinking about it, I've got a lot of Favs..... I'll post pics on other places. Hm.... a post just for pics. Gotta try it sometime. Well, it's late, so I gotta go. Until next time, Wannabe Me, signing off.
